Elena POV

The next few mornings I meet my family for breakfast, but Ryker and Chris were not here. Now that they were officially a part of the council their presence was only needed for monthly meetings. It seemed odd not having them around everyday.

Damien updated the King that his warriors found a few rogue locations, but only had a handful of prisoners so they won't return for another two weeks. Nate, Damien, and I already discussed that they wouldn't hand over anyone else to be experimented on.

They ordered their troops to kill only if necessary. The soldiers mostly to let the Rogues be and provide protection to those that needed it. A few of the families they found we were able to get to Ryker to join his pack.

Once the King was dead we could decide their fates, but for now we needed to keep them from Luna Marissa's labs.

I slipped between the library shelves, wanting to head out to the gardens when the voice of a boy that was about to die by my hands reached my ears.

    Elena POVMy eyes stung as the bright sun burned my eye lids. I huffed at Helena setting a tray of tea and danishes on my bedside. "Come on princess, it's time to get up and face a new day!" Helena said, walking in my closet for clothes."Argh! Today is going to be the worst, best day ever. I just want to skip to tonight and get to the best part." I stretched my body then slid to my food, taking greedy bites."What does the princess have on her schedule today? I was only aware of breakfast with your family." Helena asked, holding a green and beige dress out.I nodded in approval and got up to dress. "Breakfast then volunteering at the hospital with the most vile creature on this earth then dinner with my horrible family, but at night I'll have my handsome beast."Helena took a gulp, swallowing her disapproval of my relationship with Ryker. She knew there was nothing she could say to keep me from him."Well, I'll be sure to pick out a nice dress for dinner then.""Thank you!" I gave h

    Hope POVEvery day that I was away from my mate I felt like I was slowly burning from the inside out. My need to be close to Nate felt like it was taking over my subconscious, making me feign to be by his side again. The first few days I buried myself in training. I was the head warrior and had responsibility to my pack. At night I prepared dinner and forced my little siblings to behave with one another. I missed my family and pack more than I could ever express, but I also missed my mate. I didn't know if I could chose one over the other?Maddox and Alex seemed to be fighting over something, Ryker and Chris were clear of their anger, our mom seemed to be distant and oddly racked with guilt, leaving little Rosie to keep the peace around the house. She was only eight years old, but she knew how to work the room.

    Chris POVI stormed out of the house in a fit of rage. I threw my car into drive, speeding to the city. Everything was becoming to much to handle for me and I had no one to confide in anymore. I always hated this life, but I had Ryker and Hope by my side. The three of us rebuilt our family and pack after it was torn to shreds. Now we were all at odds with each other. Ryker was choosing the princess over everything we worked so hard for. Damien was my enemy that we needed to kill, but was also my mate. I killed an innocent little boy that did nothing wrong. No, The goddess used that boy's body and soul for her bidding. That is what ended his life.I pulled into a bar and immediately began hammering down one drink after the other. Ryker didn't chose me and neither would my mate. Hearing that the Shadow was fading from Damien broke my heart, even though I knew it had to be this way. "Does your kind ever stay where it belongs?" An old man took a seat next to me. I could smell the magic

I wasn't able to piece a single thought together."Here is my address. Visit me one day, alone, and I'll answer any questions you have." He finished wrapping the bandage himself then scooted off the table. "I thought for sure I had to kill you, but for some reason all I want to do is protect you. Be careful princess, your enemies are by your side."My eyes began tearing and I was losing control. I wanted to run after that man, but I couldn't move. 'What is happening? Are you in danger!' Ryker' voice was filled with anger feeling my pain through our bond and magic. I looked around and noticed that everyone was becoming frozen in place. I was losing control, letting my soul magic run rampant with those I was connected to.'I'm fine Ryker. I'll see you soon.' I quickly responded in our mind-link then closed it sh

Between your brother's rage and Tyler trying to attach himself to my hip I didn't think I would ever get away. We have to be quick and you can't leave Nate's side until you're back home. Promise me Hope!" "Nate's side is the only place I want to be. Thank you Elena, my Queen. I know this is foolish, but I need to see him."I looked at her with a confused expression. She seemed desperate to by his side and I didn't know if it was normal. They were fated, but they didn't finish the bond. She hadn't marked him yet, and even then it would be hard being separated, but not impossible.We began walking through the woods and I masked our movements from any prying eyes. I could feel how the anticipation of Hope getting closer to her mate was becoming overwhelming."Is everything ok?" I needed to know what was happening between them. Was this a normal Shadow thing? Would I become obsessed with Elijah this

    Damien POVI arrived to the hotel room but didn't just find my mate. Chris was naked on the bed with two other women."What is this Chris?" I was not amused with his other guest."We need to be with other people. Learn how to deal with this whole mate thing." Chris' hard body stood before me, making me not care so much who was in the room anymore. He pulled me to him, running his hands over my perfectly toned body that belonged to him."You're mine and only mine." I growled. Chris chuckled at my possessiveness then started removing my clothes. "Yes, Alpha." Chris whispered, making me moan at his submission. "This is for you. Ryker can never know about us, but we can find ways to be together." Chris removed my pants then slid his body up my back, laying a kiss on my shoulder then sucked hard on my mark. "Mine," he growled and I melted right into him."This is what you want? An orgy? How does that change anything?" I was quickly losing my anger to share my mate though. I just wanted to

    Nate POVI spent the past few days in a rage. I was a ticking time bomb and I knew it was from being away from my mate. I pleaded with Hope to tell Ryker, but she refused. We were miles apart and only half mated, yet I could feel her every emotion. They said how fated mates become one, but I knew this was something different. My every thought was of her, my ever desire was of her, and I had an insatiable need to be close to her, protect her. I wasn't sure if she was aware why, but I knew a big part of it was because my wolf wanted pups. I had a burning need to start our family and an even stronger one to protect my family. I always wanted a family of my own, but I didn't think it would happen so soon. I was at the training grounds, sparring with my father when I felt her presence become closer. At first I brushed it off, but the distance kept getting shorter and shorter. My father was in mid punch when I felt her enter my territory. His fist collide hard with my face and whipped my

'Or I'll pleasure myself and make you watch.'I growled in her head at those words. 'That's not exactly a turn off, love.''It is if I won't let you touch me after, lover.''You're mine and I will take you whenever I want.' I roared in her head this time. My wolf didn't like being denied, even if she was just teasing me.'Then you better run.' She warned.I was at the hospital getting Carm to go over the surveillance tapes. Hope told me they experimented on her, but she couldn't remember anything. I was sure I would find something here to give me a lead to her captors. "Finish going through these. You find anything with this woman I want to see it." I grabbed Carm by her neck, lifting her face to mine. "No one knows about this or I will remove your throat. Understood!"Carmelita had fear running through her body, but moaned at the d

Helena walked in rubbing her head confused.Elena looked to her sensing something was off. "Are you ok?" She asked."Fine my child. Just seem to have misplaced some time. I guess I'm getting old, no worries though. Would you like me to bring you some dinner?" Helena smiled and her eyes held that soft motherly innocence that we hadn't seen in so long."What do you mean, misplaced time?" My tone let my Alpha aura slip through. I knew something was off and I didn't like it. Not just for Helena sake, but that she was so close to my Queen."I don't know exactly. I woke in the pantry earlier and feel like weeks have passed. In truth, I don't remember being here in the castle that much the last month or so. Like I zoned out or something.""Or something." I growled. My eyes went blank for a few moments mind linkin

    Serenity POV"I can't believe you came here, Nicholas. It was foolish and you could have been killed." I huffed in aggravation at my mate."Well, it was worth it because if I didn't we wouldn't be together. I know you had every intention of leaving me." He pouted."I did not!"He gave me a look telling me he knew that was a big fat lie. "Ok, fine, maybe I was thinking about it, but it hurt like hell." I punched him in the shoulder before getting out of the car."Awe! What was that for, beast?" He whined, standing next to me by the front door to our house."That was for making me like you so much. Now what are we going to do about him?" I pointed to the door where my father was close by waiting for us."No clue. Let's just wing it, I guess." He said, grabbing my hand and leaning closer."Wing it? You have gone rogue little witch boy.""I'm not that much younger then you S and I didn't go Rogue. I was born a witch and always will be.

"Ok, I think we both agree we are sorry and forgive each other. Come sit with me and tell me everything." I pulled Serenity to my bed and we laid down side by side.We spent an hour catching up from Serenity's true heritage to meeting her father and unlocking her powers. She even mentioned a certain boy, Nicholas, but pretended like it was nothing. I told her about Tyler's betrayal, my father and Luna Marissa affair in both the bedroom and with experimenting on species. I went on about my love for Ryker and that I finally lost my virginity, which of course Serenity wanted all the details of. I gushed telling her about how Nate and Hope found each

    Serenity POVI waited in the small village all night unable to find sleep. I missed Nicholas, but I knew nurturing our bond would only cause more pain. Once he realized the life we would have, he would reject me. Right now, I needed to focus on saving Elena and my friends. Hearing Chris say that Elena and Damien were searching for me filled me with so much happiness. I spent months away from everything I ever known. I thought the people I loved, hated me. That they all viewed me as a traitor and a filthy witch. Now I knew they love me too and I used that to push me forward. I dressed in a long elegant green and beige dress. My dark skin seemed to glow and my black hair was half up with lose curls. I masked my powers from my witch heritage, but didn't lock them away. If I needed to fight I would be ready too. The herbs I gave Chris were harmless, and I prayed he didn't figure it out it until it was too late to do anything about it.I hid myself in the crowd, watching Elena and Damien

  • Queen of Wolves   My Regrets

    Ryker POVI tore apart the forest in my wolf form, taking down one rogue after the other. I could tell which ones were feral beast that spent years losing their humanity. I wasn't sure if this was a way to release pent up anger or some offering to the goddess that I could still help our kind by ridding those that harmed others. I cursed our goddess, but still felt a devotion to her. My wolf was at odds with me, wanting to take complete control, but I wouldn’t let him have it. He would run back to Elena then we would all die.The words Elena spoke of my betrayal kept replaying in my mind. Her eyes held no longing or compassion for me anymore. Her love for me vanished and I feared I would never see it again.~ "There is nothing between us Ryker, not anymore. You broke my heart and betrayed my loyalty. Leave and don't return." Elena's voice echoed over and over as I tore the Rogues limb from limb.My wolf argued that she didn't understand the dangers. That we needed to capture her and b

    Hope POV"Oh thank the goddess. Where have you been, mom?" I gave her hug but scolded her for leaving my younger siblings alone. "I was at the castle. After everything that happened I ran back here. Ryker stripped Christopher of his Beta title. He can't do that. We can't let this family fall apart. He is too invested in that damn girl who just crowned Tyler as King."Nate growled at my mom for speaking so disrespectful of Elena. "You will watch your tongue about our Queen. I'm done playing by the Shadow's rules." Lucian came forward and we could both feel the immense power radiating from his aura.I took a second to swoon over his power then smacked his shoulder. "Enough, this is my mother, you will not growl at her, understood. As far as Ryker and Chris are concerned they can sort their own shit out. Right now, we need to get our people to safety. Go pack a bag mom!"Nate smiled at my bossy tone and my mom looked between the both of us about to speak, but retreated to her room inste

    Nate POVI looked around the forrest, looking out to our pack house, my home in the distance. This might be the last time I saw these lands. I let out a long sigh then turned and left. I shifted into my white wolf, grabbing my bag in my mouth and headed to Hope. Lucian was desperate to see her. He needed to sense our pup growing inside her. It filled me with a new purpose that I couldn't wait to fulfill.When I arrived to the Shadow Moon's territory people were running around like crazy. I didn't bother shifting to ask what happened though. If there was danger then I couldn't wait another second to find Hope.Her scent grew stronger near the cells which made me let out a ferocious growl. Elena told me she was taken prisoner, but I didn't actually think Ryker could put her in a dungeon. At that moment, I no longer cared who the Alpha was or what anyone's rules were. I was getting my mate and we were leaving to do this our own way in this world.Two large men guarded the cement doors.

  • Queen of Wolves   Banished

    Meredith POVI watched the ceremony from a distance with a shattered heart. Everything we worked for was for nothing. Both my boys defied the goddess and now all the Shadows would feel her wrath. I didn't want to admit it, but I was growing fond of Elena too. This new life she was about to lead would be one of a loveless marriage filled with nothing but to please others. I was sad for my son mostly. As much as I wanted them apart and I knew Ryker loved her. This could break our Alpha and our family. Too many secrets have lived between us for too long. I rushed back to the castle to change back to my body. I needed to be there for my sons when they returned home.I left Helena's body in the kitchen's pantry with enough sleeping potion to keep her knocked out for a few hours. If I wasn't able to return I at least wanted Helena to have a chance to get her life back. Elena was going to need her and her husband truly loved her. Helena was a good person and she made a good life here in t

The King's eyes turned black then back handed me across the face. The entire crowd gasped at the sudden hit he gave me across the face. They screamed for their Queen to not be harmed by the Savage king.My father cursed at his rash behavior. He knew he couldn't let his emotions take over, but everyone knew he hated to be challenged. I needed to do something."You want to be Queen, then kill this traitor and the crown is yours. Show our people that you will protect them." The King took a blade from a guard and handed it to me.I wrapped my fingers around the blade and the King took his seat. He knew I had to do it or I would lose the faith of our people. I looked out to the crowd in a panic of what to do.I slowly walked to Nate, giving Ryker a look of disgust. This time he caught my eyes and a sharp pain of guilt ran through him. I stoo
